Unearthing the Unexpected: This Man Found Hidden Secrets Right Beneath His Driveway

Not many people have experienced something completely mysterious in their lives. It’s even more difficult to believe when other people share their experiences. A man named Simon Marks experienced something paranormal in his home one day, and you’ll never believe what he found.

It was October 2016 at the Luton, England, home of Simon Marks. Marks, a computer support technician, had recently purchased the home and was quite proud of himself.

You never know what you’re getting when buying a home. Marks believed he was getting a good bargain—one simply too good to pass it up. He signed the paperwork and made the payment.

A few months after making payments and signing the paperwork, Simon was ready to move into his new home. He spent the first night unpacking boxes and coming to terms with the fact that he was starting a new life.

Simon first assumed he had imagined the noise while setting the alarm, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. He kept quiet and tried not to make any noise. It wasn’t long before he heard the sound again.

Just as he was dozing off, he remembered his driveway was completely paved. How was an animal going to breathe in such a space? He dismissed the idea and decided to check it out in the morning.

When Simon woke up the following day, the event of the past night was entirely out of his mind. It was the weekend, and Simon was determined to have the best time. He had been in the office all week and wanted to relax and spend time with the family this weekend.

The driveway was the first piece of the puzzle he was about to assemble, but Simon didn’t know then. The small bump was about to lead him to an incredible chain of events. But at that moment, Simon simply wanted to hit the road.

Simon wasn’t about to give up, so he tried again to reverse his car out of the driveway. However, it seemed the vehicle was determined not to move. Simon wasn’t going to give up, was he? This time, he hit the gas pedal hard, enough to propel him out of the driveway.

Once Simon returned home from his hangout, he decided to take a closer look at the bump in his driveway. His first thought was that a piece of the pavement was poorly constructed. That was the most reasonable explanation.

Simon looked closer at the bump in his driveway, and his stomach dropped once he discovered what was happening right before his eyes. The driveway pavers were completely cracked, and his driveway caved in right before him.

Sinkholes appear like a visitor out of nowhere. When they do pop in, they can be quite brutal. Sinkholes form suddenly and then slowly grow larger. Some get so big that they swallow entire houses and towns.

Simon knew his home was built during the 1970s by an old couple, but little else about it. The dangers around the home weren’t part of the information he received. As the dust settled, Simon saw something underneath the dirt.

The dirt beneath gave way easily, and Simon spotted metal beneath the soil. He got curious and a bit excited. What was lurking beneath the surface? Simon was determined to find out. Using his hand, he gripped the metal and pulled hard.

At this point, Simon took a step back. He got a terrifying feeling that his entire house would vanish, so he decided he needed help. Who was he going to call? Simon called the one person he trusted the most—his dad.

Simon’s father, Gerald, got to the scene quickly. He brought no tools with him as he didn’t know what to expect. However, with Gerald now in the scene, Simon felt emboldened to explore the strange hole further.

Although Simon had researched the home before he bought it, nothing could have prepared him for the mysterious passageway they had found. According to the reports, it was an empty field before the couple built their home.

Despite the attempts to keep this covered, Simon and his father had discovered the secret and were determined to see it through. Exploring the hole was slow, but the duo wanted to discover the secrets underneath Simon’s home.

Although Simon and Gerald were scared, they were even more excited. The first few steps down the ladder were taken with dread and anticipation for what waited beneath. Simon left nothing to chance, so he got a hold of some modern technology.

Simon first saw underground passageways with two different rooms. When he bought the property, the couple had not mentioned there was anything underneath. It soon became clear that the sounds he had heard were earth falling into the secret rooms.

Simon and Gerald decided to take a break and carry out some research on the land. Their research led them to discover the land was strategically placed near a special community. The piece of the puzzle that pulled it all together was the time it was built.

In 1938, Sir John Anderson was tasked with preparing Britain for World War II with Nazi Germany. His objective was to create a plan to protect the citizens from air raids, and Sir John devised an ingenious plan.

Sir John was successful with his plan. In no time, there were over two million bomb shelters distributed across the country. However, Simon’s research revealed that these bomb shelters were created with a lightweight and flexible material.

Since this shelter was made of metal, it became clear what had happened: A bomb had landed nearby. Terrified, the citizens – who now knew their community was a target – decided to do something.

The community created a larger shelter that was even better than what Sir John had built. The new shelter was made with bricks and concrete, even stronger than Sir John’s lightweight materials.

Simon and his dad discovered evidence that the bomb shelter had food and water to sustain the residents. People had to stay in the shelter for several days, and the food and water kept them alive.

News reporters and neighbors made their way to the driveway to take a look at this fascinating discovery. Although Simon wasn’t completely happy about the attention, he knew this was a piece of history he couldn’t cover up.
